Alexander Isak suffers suspected broken leg: Liverpool striker faces MONTHS out

Published

on

Alexander Isak is set for months on the sidelines with a suspected broken leg, with Liverpool awaiting the final results of an MRI scan.

 

Isak is likely to miss the majority of the second half of the season at least, after breaking his leg in Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Tottenham.

 

That is according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, who reports on the club’s suspicions following a scan on Sunday.

 

Alexander Isak broken leg: A quick look

 

• Fracture feared: Alexander Isak is suspected to have suffered a broken leg against Tottenham on Saturday.

 

• Lengthy layoff: The £125 million striker could miss most of the season, with a return feasible for April.

 

• Transfer move: Liverpool may target Bournemouth‘s Antoine Semenyo in January to cover the major attacking void.

 

It comes as the next step in a gruelling campaign for the No. 9, who has struggled for fitness and form since joining from Newcastle for a British record £125 million.

 

 

Liverpool will support Isak throughout his recovery and the hope will be that he can be reintegrated before the run-in, though every caution will be taken with a player who did not take part in pre-season and is yet to regain the sharpness he showed in 2024/25.

 

Isak had only made 10 starts for the Reds from a total of 16 appearances, and his goal off the bench against Tottenham was his third for the club.

 

He had already missed four games earlier in the season with an adductor issue but will now sit out a considerable amount more – with it possible that Liverpool target a return in either April or May.

 

Any timeframe on Isak’s return will depend on the severity of the fracture, with a clean break a more forgiving injury in terms of recovery while any associated ligament damage could extend his layoff further and possibly into the summer.

 

Who could Liverpool sign after Alexander Isak injury?

 

 

His absence will leave Hugo Ekitike as the only established senior centre-forward with Federico Chiesa the only true backup – and one rarely trusted by Arne Slot.

 

There appears a strong chance Liverpool will therefore enter the transfer market again in January, with Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo a feasible target.

 

Semenyo is available for £65 million if his release clause is triggered in the first two weeks of the month.

 

Alexander Isak leg injury: Frequently Asked Questions

 

How long does a broken leg take to heal for a footballer?

 

A clean fracture typically requires three to four months for a full return to action. However, if there is associated ligament or syndesmosis damage, the layoff can extend beyond six months.

 

When will Alexander Isak return for Liverpool?

 

While the club are awaiting MRI results, early estimates suggest a potential return in April or May 2026. Liverpool are expected to take every caution given Isak’s lack of a full pre-season.

 

Is a broken leg worse than an ACL injury?

 

Surprisingly, a “clean” bone break is often preferred over an ACL tear. Bone heals stronger than before, whereas ligament surgery can permanently alter a player’s explosive pace and agility.

 

How many games will Isak miss for Liverpool?

 

If sidelined until April, Isak could miss up to 20 Premier League fixtures, as well as the knockout stages of the Champions League and domestic cup competitions

Liverpool deal ‘agreed’ as Marc Guehi update drops after Arsenal play their hand

Published

on

As of today there is no confirmed transfer that Liverpool have signed Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.

 

 

 

 

There are only ongoing transfer rumours and interest reports — but no official confirmation that the move has happened. �

Sky Sports +1

📌 Current Situation

Marc Guehi is still a Crystal Palace player and is expected to continue there this season — Palace boss Oliver Glasner has said he believes Guehi will remain at Selhurst Park this January. �

Sky Sports

His contract expires at the end of the season and he refused a new deal, so he’s likely to leave when that contract ends. �

Sky Sports

Liverpool remain interested, but according to reliable sources they are not planning to complete the transfer now; they may wait for Guehi to move as a free agent in summer 2026. �

Goal

🚨 Rumours (but not confirmed)

Liverpool had a bid in the past, and discussions have taken place, but Crystal Palace blocked the deal previously because they couldn’t secure a replacement. �

Goal

Other clubs (e.g., Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid) have also shown interest. �

✅ Official stance: No, Liverpool have not confirmed the signing of Marc Guehi.

Arsenal transfer news: Ethan Nwaneri reaches exit decision as £80m agreement eyed

 

Mirror Football brings you a round-up of the latest transfer news surrounding Arsenal

 

Mikel Arteta is hoping his Arsenal team can go all the way this season

 

Arsenal may be in the midst of a title race but they are still working quietly behind the scenes on transfers. Mikel Arteta has already admitted the club is willing to spend in January should the opportunity arise.

 

Heading into the Premier League clash with Liverpool on Thursday night, the Gunners hold a five-point advantage over rivals Manchester City, with an opportunity to stretch that to eight points after 21 games with a win over the title holders.

 

 

Arteta’s stacked squad, thanks to a summer of heavy expenditure on quality players, ensured they came out of an injury-riddled past four months unscathed, as some key players recently made their return to fitness.

 

Yet, in a division as tough as this and with four trophies to fight for, there is always room for squad improvement. Here, Mirror Football brings you two of the latest transfer developments involving the north London club.

Ethan Nwaneri makes exit decision

 

Ethan Nwaneri reportedly wants to stay and fight for his place in the Arsenal team for the remainder of the season. The 18-year-old has attracted attention from Bournemouth this month, with the Premier League side eager to sign him on loan until the end of this campaign following the sale of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City.

 

There is a sense that a temporary move would benefit Nwaneri given his lack of playing time this season. The Hale End academy product has been left out of the last few matchday squads after seeing his playing time decrease drastically compared to last season. He has made only six Premier League appearances since scoring four league goals in 26 matches last term.

With the likes of Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze and now injury returnee Kai Havertz ahead of the youngster in the pecking order, some believe Nwaneri needs a move to continue his progression. However, Arsenal do not want to sell the player due to his obvious talent.

 

The Independent reports Nwaneri feels he can learn more by being part of a serious title challenge, meaning he is happy to remain patient and assess his situation at the end of the season, when he may well have a league trophy to his name.
